Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. Atta boy, N. R. It was a big day. a happy one and a successful one. They were all here, from State Commander Nelson down to the K. P. For enthusiasm and leadership the Legion seems to have a monopoly. The old weather man will keep on fooling around and give us a soaker one of these days. If we had more hotel accommo-, dations Decatur could put on a j state convention for the American I Legion. Commander Adams can feel just ly proud of the record made by Adams Post, the big convention being an excellent climax to a very successful year. Decatur was proud of the opportunity to be host to the Legionnaires, distinguished visitors, the women and hundreds of visitors here for the big Legion convention. As Mayor Krick said, "the town is yours and we hope you'll enjoy yourself sc much that you’ll come back.” This week should be a brisk one, many getting ready for the Fourth of July holiday next Tuesday. It is an established fact that the week preceeding a holiday is a busy shopping week and those who want their share of the trade, can send their sales message to more than 15,000 readers through the columns of the Daily Democrat. Whenever we want to put on a big show we are going to call on N. R. Holthouse and his Legion committee to supervise and do the job. The event yesterday was equal to demonstrations given in cities ten times as large as Decatur and every detail was worked out td i erfectiou. The Legion has the leadership and enthusiasm it takes to accomplish public-spirited undertakings and the local Post has proved more than its ability to do things. • Pleas Greenlee, secretary to Governor Paul V. McNutt and Charles Casteel of Celina, brought greeting-. from the Indiana and Ohio hXi ■cuties to tho Legionnaires in tnis city Sunday. Due to a previous engagement Governor McNutt found it impossible to be here, Shay Minton of the Public Service Commission appearing for him on sSili If you owe several bills which you would like to pay—we will furnish you the cash to square up those bills.

the program. Governor White expressed his admiration for the Legion and sent official greetings through the Celina representative. One of the worst accidents in the history of Decatur took place Sunday noon on Winchester street. A little girl was killed, her sister seriously injured and a playmate injured. Such tragedies are hard to'account for and the entire community sympathizes with the sorrowing families. The young man who- was driving the automobile which mowed down the tiny tots is probably suffering as much as the parents. Loosing control of his car when a bumble-bee stung him, he ran up on the sidewalk and struck the girls. It's terrible to say the least and words fail to express the feelings the public holds for the bereaved family. The first payment of the*gross income tax is due July 1 and payable on or before July 15. Individuals must pay one per cent on the gross amount they earn and business establishments must pay from a quarter to one per cent, depending on the classification of their business. In the case of manufacturers the tax is one-quart-er of one per cent. Partnerships pay as individuals on the gross amount of business done. The proper blanks for making returns can be obtained at the local auto license bureau and the tax, together with report must be forwarded to the Gross Income Tax Department, Indianapolis. If you keep the proper records you should not have any trouble in figuring the tax. Former Governor Wilbur Brucker of Michigan brought an inspiring message to Legionnaires and visitors here Sunday. He urged l egionnaires to take an active part in public affairs and to always stand for high ideals. “Give of your leadership and go out and do the thing that you know is right,” cautioned the former Michigan executive. Governor Brucker is a soldier with an eviable record. He was a member of the famous Rainbow division, was cited for bravery and has received several military honors. Not only in the state of Michigan, where he served two years as governor, but throughtout Legion circles, he is recognized as one of the outstanding and able leaders. His friends in this city would like to see him become national commander of the American Legion and are urging him to be a candidate. ————o • « Answers To Test Questions Below are the Answers to the Test Questions Printed on Page Two. ♦ « 1.

VOICE In A WILDERNESS A SHOPPER may wander, aisle after aisle, counter after counter, through a wilderness of ‘‘bargains.” Things so cheap that yesterday’s prices seem to have been ridiculously high, yesterday’s purchases unwise and made too soon. It is a fact that materials and manufacturing costs have been cut. Sound merchandise does cost less. But how often the “bargain,” put to legitimate use, proves entirely a phantom. Furniture should be made to live with, not just to be sold. Shirts and socks should give service on the person and through the laundry, as well as appeal to eye and pocketbook in the store. Dress fabrics, cut into little frocks, must be exposed to sunlight, hard wear and repeated tubbings. How, in this wilderness of manufactured things, can a person be sure of buying the genuine? What is to be his guide? Advertising is the answer! Advertising is the “voice crying in the wilderness.” It is a message to you from merchants who have merited your confidence in the past and to whom that confidence means business life. Advertising brings the announcements of manufacturers who would not and could not presume upon your credulity. In today’s market it is more important than ever that you heed the advertisementsr—that you ask for and receive the kind of merchandise that can be advertised.
